Forceeffect engineer tools

Hi

'i don't know if somebody here' has checked out "ForceEffect Motion" by Autodesk, it is so a nice tool to play/work with.

Exists something similar for Mac Osx too ??

If no, would be an amazing thing to have something similar as SU plugin, (preferable supporting Su but the translation step couldn't be that easy; the app for iPod touch/iPad weights about 30 Mb… nice, simple things often are done sophisticated.
Only for curiosity, whats your meaning??

Just what i need
Thanks for the tip

It must be possible to create something simular with a SU plugin
Like in SketchyPhysics, components can represent degrees of freedom.
A SU plugin can be much more compact. Almost nothing is needed for the interface (graphics....).
But the analysis is not simple...

Oho… interesting thought. Sketchyphysics could be interesting
Some other suggestions ?

Hi,

as i wrote in my first post

i coded and code most of my needs in Applescript, so my second thought is always -code it, if nobody wrote it-
but in Ruby i'm (almost) helpless. Would be hard to code such a plugin ?

Yes.

Thanks for the clear answer, Chris.
Sorry, but you meant from a technical or legal point of view ?

Chris Fullmer

Technical. That's very technical work. SketchyPhysics makes use of an existing free library of physics simulation software. And he just plugs it into SU. And even that is an incredible undertaking.
